Dodgers released RHP Bud Norris.

Norris was designated for assignment last week and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched to a rough 5.10 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 102/49 K/BB ratio across 113 innings between the Braves and Dodgers this season. Sep 28 - 5:56 PM

Dodgers designated RHP Bud Norris for assignment.

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Alex Wood, who was activated off the 60-day disabled list Tuesday and will work out of the Dodgers' bullpen down the stretch. Norris had a 5.10 ERA through 19 starts and 16 relief appearances this season with Los Angeles. Sep 20 - 4:22 PM

Bud Norris will start on the road Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Norris last pitched September 9 in relief of Clayton Kershaw, yielding two earned runs on a walk and a hit while recording only two outs. The right-hander has an ugly 5.05 ERA in 19 starts and 15 relief appearances this year. Sep 14 - 2:14 PM

Bud Norris gave up six runs -- five earned -- in three innings Wednesday against the Rockies.

Norris was able to recover from a five-run first and would have pitched more than three innings, but he was due up with two men on in the fourth and the Dodgers had little choice but to hit for him and try to put some runs on the board (they didn't, but it all worked out in the end). Norris, who was filling in for Rich Hill tonight, will likely spend most of September in the bullpen if the Dodgers have any sort of luck with their injured starters. Sep 1 - 12:14 AM

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Scott Kazmir did not exercise the opt-out clause in his contract with the Dodgers.

That means that he'll remain with the Dodgers and earn $32 million over the next two seasons. Given the scarcity of quality starting pitchers in the free agent market this winter, he could become an attractive trade chip for the Dodgers.

Liberatore posted a 0.61 ERA in the first half but had elbow issues in the second half and posted a 9.45 ERA. He's expected to be ready to go at the beginning of next season. Grant Dayton is a lock for the NLDS roster now.
